Our priority when mold has infected your home is to remove it and restore your home to the condition it was in prior to the damage. We will also coordinate efforts with your insurance company.

Mold is everywhere

Mold is everywhere! It is naturally occurring, and exists wherever there is moisture. Some moisture problems in homes have been linked to changes in building construction practices since the 1970s. Homes are built tightly which makes heating and cooling more efficient, but the reduced air circulation can also prevent evaporation and lead to moisture build-up.

Excessive moisture can lead to excessive mold – even in a dry state like Colorado. When the amount of mold in your home exceeds what is normal, it will not only damage your beautiful home, but also be a serious risk to your family's health.

While it takes excessive moisture for mold to begin growing, once established it can thrive indefinitely at much lower moisture levels. So it's important to take steps to prevent mold growth, identify hidden mold, and consult with an experienced mold remediation contractor when necessary.

Prevention

Prevention is the most important step.

• Moisture control is key – watch for condensation, damp spots, leaks or other signs of moisture build-up.
• Make sure shower walls and floors are structurally sound, and that bathroom joints and faucets are well sealed and in good condition.
• Inspect your roof and other exterior features annually for potential moisture pathways– missing shingles, cracks or other signs.
• Don't let your home's foundation stay wet. Provide drainage, and slope the ground away from the foundation.
• Fix all potential sources of moisture problems as soon as possible.

Hidden mold

In some cases, indoor mold growth may not be obvious. It is possible that mold may be growing on hidden surfaces, such as the backside of drywall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top of ceiling tiles, the underside of carpets and pads, etc.

Other possible locations of hidden mold can include pipe chases and utility tunnels (with leaking or condensing pipes), walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), condensate drain pans inside air handling units, porous thermal or acoustic liners inside ductwork, or roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation).

• If you believe mold may exist in locations you cannot easily inspect, contact an experienced mold remediation contractor for a thorough inspection.
